Connect an R-
134a A/C service center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves.
3. Recover the refrigerant from the system following the operating instructions provided by the equipment manufacturer.
4. Once the service center has recovered the vehicle A/C system refrigerant, close the service center inlet valve (if equipped). Then switch off the power supply.
5. Allow the vehicle A/C system to remain closed for about two minutes. Observe the system vacuum level as shown on the gauge. If the vacuum does not decrease, disconnect the
refrigerant center hose(s).
6. If the system vacuum does decrease, repeat Steps 2 through 5 until the vacuum level remains stable for two minutes.
7. Carry out the required repairs.
Refrigerant System Evacuation
NOTE: Ford Motor Company recommends use of an A/C service center to carry out recovery,
evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an A/C service center is not available, refrigerant
system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate recovery station,
vacuum pump, charging cylinder, and manifold gauge set.
1. Connect an R- 134a service center to the low- and high-pressure service gauge port valves.
2. Evacuate the system until the low- pressure gauge reads at least 99.4 kPa (29.5 in- Hg) of
vacuum and as close to 101.1 kPa (30 in- Hg) as possible. Continue to operate the vacuum
pump for a minimum of 45 minutes.
3. Turn off the vacuum pump. Observe the low- pressure gauge for five minutes to make sure that
the system vacuum is held. If vacuum is not held for five minutes, leak test the system, service
the leak, and evacuate the system again.
Refrigerant System Charging
NOTE: Ford Motor Company recommends use of an A/C service center to carry out recovery,
evacuation, and charging of the refrigerant system. If an A/C service center is not available, refrigerant
system recovery, evacuation, and charging may be accomplished using a separate recovery station,
vacuum pump, charging cylinder, and manifold gauge set.
1. Correctly oil match the system to verify that the correct amount of refrigerant oil is present in the system. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding in this section.
2. Charge the system with the specified amounts of refrigerant oil and refrigerant.
3. When no more refrigerant is being drawn into the system, start the engine and select MAX A/C operation. Adjust the blower motor speed to the maximum and allow the remaining refrigerant to
be drawn into the system. Continue to add refrigerant into the system until the specified weight
of R- 134a has been added. Close the charging cylinder valve and allow the system to pull any
remaining refrigerant from the hose. When the low- pressure drops to approximately 207 kPa
(30 psi), close the charging hose valve. Klj . 2 ba

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Refrigerant Oil Adding
CAUTION: During normal A/C operation, oil is circulated through the system with the
refrigerant, and a small amount is retained in each component. If certain components of the
system are removed for new installation, some of the refrigerant oil will go with the component.
To maintain the original total oil charge, it is necessary to compensate for the oil lost by adding
oil to the system with the new part.
1. NOTE: Service A/C compressors are shipped without compressor oil.
Rotate the A/C compressor shaft six to eight revolutions while collecting oil in a clean measuring
device. zIf the amount of oil drained from the old A/C compressor is between 85- 142 ml (3-5
ounces), pour the same amount plus 30 ml (1 ounce) of clean PAG Refrigerant
Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) F7AZ-19589- DA (Motorcraft YN-12-C) WSH M1C231-
B or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.
z If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is greater than 142 ml
(5 ounces), pour the same amount drained of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-
134a Systems) or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.
z If the amount of oil that was removed from the old A/C compressor is less than 85 ml (3
ounces), pour 85 ml (3 ounces) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R- 134a
Systems) or equivalent into the new A/C compressor.
2. For the suction accumulator/drier, drill one 13 mm (0.52 in) hole in the suction accumulator/drier cylinder and drain the oil into a calibrated container.
zAdd a quantity of new oil to match that drained from the old suction accumulator/drier
plus 60 ml (2 ounces) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R- 134a Systems) or
equivalent.
3. For the A/C evaporator core, add 89 ml (3 ounces) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R-134a Systems) or equivalent to the suction accumulator/drier inlet tube.
4. For the A/C condenser core, add 30 ml (1 ounce) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R- 134a Systems) or equivalent to the A/C condenser core or the suction accumulator/drier inlet
tube.
5. Add 60 ml (2 ounces) of clean PAG Refrigerant Compressor Oil (R- 134a Systems) or equivalent
to the suction accumulator/drier inlet tube when carrying out each of the following repairs:
zinstallation of a new A/C evaporator core orifice
z installation of a new A/C compressor pressure relief valve (19D644)
z installation of a new refrigerant line
z repair of an O- ring seal leak
z repair of a charge port leak
6. Installation of new components that do not require discharge of refrigerant and resulting oil loss, such as the A/C cycling switch and the A/C pressure transducer, do not require additional oil.

GENERAL PROCEDURES
Inspection and Assembly Requirements —
Following an A/C
Compressor Failure
CAUTION: To prevent refrigerant system contamination and possible failure of the new
A/C compressor, carry out the following procedures.
1. NOTE: A dirty A/C evaporator core orifice or a condenser to evaporator tube containing black
refrigerant oil and particles indicates that the A/C compressor has failed and a new A/C
compressor must be installed.
Remove and discard the A/C evaporator core orifice. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
2. Remove the A/C compressor. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
z Drain the residual refrigerant oil from the A/C compressor and measure the volume for
correct system oil matching. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding in
this section.
3. NOTE: The suction accumulator/drier and A/C evaporator core orifice cannot be cleaned and a
new A/C evaporator core orifice must be installed.
Remove the suction accumulator/drier. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
z Drain the residual refrigerant oil from the suction accumulator/drier and measure the
volume for correct oil system matching. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding in this section.
4. NOTE: System flushing is the preferred method of cleaning. However, if flushing equipment is
not available, carry out system filtering.
Carry out an A/C system flushing or filtering procedure:
zIf A/C system flushing equipment is available, clean the A/C evaporator core and the A/C
condenser core by flushing. For additional information, refer to Flushing in this section.
z If A/C system flushing equipment is not available, carry out a system filtering procedure.
For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding After A/C Component
Replacement in this section.
5. Install a new A/C compressor. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
6. Install the new suction accumulator/drier. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
7. Install the new A/C evaporator core orifice. For additional information, refer to Section 412 - 03 .
8. Correctly oil match the system. For additional information, refer to Refrigerant Oil Adding in this
section.
9. Evacuate and charge the system. For additional information, refer to Air Conditioning (A/C) System Recovery, Evacuation and Charging in this section.
